CAM + HOLLY’S TOP FOUR ON 54 ORANGE

CAM SAYS…. “This historical property evokes an emotion every time you walk into it. You feel an immediate connection to the history of Nantucket. It’s amazing that you’ll use the same handmade handrail as Captain Charles Grant dating back to 1835.”

1. THAT RICH HISTORY

As Cam told us above, 54 Orange was built in 1835 by Captain Charles Grant, who was also the most successful whaling captain of his time. While this Greek Revival style home has been tastefully remodeled, you’ll find the soul and integrity of the property continues to hold true. The meticulous restoration boasts distinctive features from its past, such as iconic columns, the pediment entry way, gorgeous wide plank floors and trim detail. There’s even marble from New Zealand that adorns the fireplaces while the original kitchen hearth lies next to the grand curved staircase. The high ceilings accentuate the historic integrity achieved at every corner and the home masters the mix of the old and the new throughout.

2. THOSE LAYERS OF LIVING

The multi level layout has something to offer everyone….with three oversized decks overlooking the harbor offering striking views, you’ll enjoy the best of indoor and outdoor living. You’ll be able bask in the sun or grill up a storm all while enjoying the picturesque views.

“The seamless transition from indoor to outdoor makes this property incredibly unique,” Cam told us. “It’s a special place where you can take in stunning views from any of the multiple decks, while your family plays in the lush yard below.”

3. THE PRIME DOWNTOWN LOCATION

Convenientially located in the heart of downtown, the multi level living layout offers the opportunity to either enjoy your privacy in the oversized yard with mature landscaping or a birds eye view of the historic district and Nantucket harbor. The one way street is tucked in enough to be a stone’s throw away from all the hustle and bustle of downtown without hearing more than the subtle hum of white noise. You’ll be able to keep your vehicles stowed away in the 2 car garage — and you’ll be able to walk to all of the hotspots without having to worry about finding a coveted parking spot!

4. A MULTIGENERATIONAL PROPERTY

This property has the potential to be enjoyed by all family members for generations to come. The lower level is a unique separate space with its own kitchenette and separate entrance…a prime “in-law suite” to boot!

Above the main floor, the top floor is a large open space set up as the COOLEST bunk room for the kids and kids at heart. Imagine the spectacular slumber parties that can be thrown in this space with yet another large deck off the area to enjoy some delicious s’mores…54 Orange feels like your very own summer camp!
